Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has reacted to media speculation of a supposed 60million euro bid for Robinho by claiming the Brazil international is worth more than that.
Reports suggested Chelsea have offered that amount for the 24-year-old forward - something the Premier League club denied - while it has also been mooted Robinho could be included in a deal to try to bring Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo to the Bernabeu.
But when quizzed about the player's situation and the supposed big-money offer for his services, Calderon said: "I think he is worth more then 60 million.
"There is nothing new on the subject of Robinho because the player is not unhappy with the club."
Calderon was also asked about how much the Spanish champions would be willing to pay for United ace Ronaldo.
It has been claimed in the media that Madrid would be willing to splash out up to 100 million euros on the 23-year-old, smashing the current world record transfer fee, but Calderon continued to insist the matter was out of their hands.
"We cannot pay anything because he is a player who is not for sale," Calderon was quoted as saying by Spanish media.
"It is not a matter for Real Madrid but for Manchester (United) and the player. If he wants to go, then we will be alert as long as it's for a reasonable price."

Ronaldo did the double and they're talking about a hundred million for KAKA and also for Robinho anyone care to tell me how much the Portuguese guy is worth by those figures?
Ithink to hell with Ronaldo real madrid doesnt need wingers Robben and Robinho and Snjeder can play on the wings, they need CMd's like Van der vaart and a striker just in case raul decides to retire. or if real wants to replace him with a better striker this season like droga why not spend 100 milion on 5 different players from like 3 different clubs, and that way you have more diversity and option plus your not supplying a dangerous club like man U with 100 million euros if Real does that then the next five years were all doomed to see Man u become champions league winners.
ROBINHO, is a Great Player...and CHELSEA would be very LUCKY to have him...HOWEVER, He will Just be an "ADDEDWEIGHT" to CRISTIANO RONALDO..Transfer PRICE f a Phenomenal £ 100 MILLION...into the Glazers, WADS and Fergy's "GENIE BOTTLE" Sale of the CENTURY!!!
RONALDO..is now a "PRICELLESS" Player...!!-London
